The russell family trust----I had a recall on my 1999 econoline motorhome. I took it this morning to the ford dealer in purvis ms to get it checked. He said it did not have the master cylinder on it that they usually checked, and had me sign a work order. I want to know what to do now.

Plastic cap for brake reservoir does not remain secure which allows brake fluid to leak within engine compartment. Dealership examined vehicle for problem and replaced reservoir cap. Replacement cap is also coming loose on one side and does not remain tight. Please provide any additional information / documentation.
